international commission on radiological protection

What are the key recommendations made by the ICRP?

Key recommendations by the ICRP include:
1. Dose Limits: Setting permissible dose limits for different groups, including workers, patients, and the general public.
2. Optimization: Ensuring that all exposures are kept as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA principle), taking into account economic and societal factors.
3. Justification: Ensuring that any decision that alters the radiation exposure situation should do more good than harm.
4. Protection of vulnerable populations: Special considerations for children, pregnant women, and those with higher radiation sensitivity.
